The golden milk here is honestly the best I&#39;ve had. Service was friendly too, and they took their time explaining the menu in English without rushing me. I just sat there sipping it slowly, not wanting to leave. Wish I could&#39;ve ordered a second one but I was already full.

Came here with a couple friends and grabbed food from the Ukulele stall. The vegan burrito was actually really good, not dry at all. Lots of seating inside and out, so we just chilled for a while after eating. Staff were nice too. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The focaccia chicken sandwich was the reason I came back. Chicken stayed juicy, bread held up without getting soggy. That little soup starter on the side was a nice touch too. Sugar-free smoothie surprised me, not overly sweet. Place was busy but service kept up fine. I&#39;d grab it again if I&#39;m in the area.

Stumbled into this cafe while killing time near the theater foyer. The apple pie with ice cream was the highlight&mdash;warm, not too sweet, and the coffee came out with this little theatrical presentation. Staff were friendly enough. Prices felt fair for the area. Wouldn&#39;t mind stopping by again if I&#39;m in the neighborhood.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Dim sum was solid, roast duck had that nice crispy skin. Portions are big, almost too big for one person honestly. Service was fast which I appreciated since I was in a hurry. Place gets busy around noon so come early if you want a table.

Stopped by for a quick dinner and the place is clean, modern, nothing fancy. Owner was friendly, staff sweet. Got the casado, portion was decent for the price, didn&#39;t leave hungry. Not the most mind-blowing food but for what you pay it&#39;s fair. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area and want something simple.

The birria tacos are the reason to come here. Meat&rsquo;s super tender, and that consomm&eacute; for dipping is legit. Portion&rsquo;s a little small for what you pay, but honestly the flavor carries it. I&rsquo;d skip everything else and just order these.

The mocktails were solid, that&rsquo;s about it. Food was just okay, nothing I&rsquo;d come back for. Nice spot to grab a drink though.

The chifrijo hit the spot. Crispy pork, rice, beans, and those tortilla chips all together&mdash;solid flavor. Good intro to Costa Rican food if you haven&#39;t tried it. Place was a bit busy but I didn&#39;t really care. Just focused on the bowl.

Tacos were solid, that Costa Rican twist makes them stand out. Liked the little bell on the table for getting the waiter&rsquo;s attention, pretty clever. Place was busy but food came out quick enough. Good spot if you need a fast bite without the usual hassle.

The capricciosa pizza was so good 😋 we grabbed one after walking around the stadium area. Super easy to find too. Would come back with friends for sure.

The casado here is solid and the price feels right for what you get. Traditional flavors, no fuss. Just wish they had a bit more seating, it got crowded fast.

The pintortilla was really good, definitely the highlight. Prices felt fair for the quality, not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Stopped by for a quick bite and ended up staying longer than planned. The owner runs the place almost solo, still found time to check if everything was alright. Had the casado and a fresh fruit juice, both solid. Portions decent for the price. Place is small, gets a bit busy around noon, but that&#39;s a good sign.

I had an incredible culinary experience here! The tuna was perfectly cooked, and the risotto was creamy and flavorful. The service was warm and attentive, making the whole dining experience memorable.

Stopped by for a beer and pizza with friends last week. The milk stout was seriously good, probably my favorite dark beer in San Jose right now. Pizza held up its end too. Only thing is the street noise gets kinda loud when it&#39;s busy, but we still hung out for a while. Nice spot if you&#39;re not looking for somewhere super quiet. 🍕

Burger was decent and the staff helped us with the English menu, which was nice. Outdoor deck is a good spot when it&#39;s breezy. Price felt a bit high for what you get though.

The picanha was spot on, tender and juicy. Lomo too. Buffet had a good spread, even some sushi which was a nice surprise. Service kept things moving, no complaints there. Just a solid meal overall. Maybe a bit busy for my taste, but the food made up for it.

The green croissant with chocolate and pistachios is the reason I keep coming back. Pastry&#39;s flaky, filling&#39;s generous, not too sweet. Coffee&#39;s solid too, honestly some of the best I&#39;ve had around here. Place gets busy mid-morning, but worth the wait. Just wish they had more seating.
